[OUTDATED] Show the stats of your mastodon instance directly on Cachet

Cachet Mastodon stats

Show the stats of your mastodon instance directly on Cachet

Prerequisites

• NodeJS
• Cron (Linux/Unix) or Task scheduler (Windows)

Configuration

First, clone with repository

git clone https://github.com/themimitoof/cachet-mastodon-stats.git

Download all dependencies with:

npm i

Rename the config.js.sample in config.js file and edit informations:

var config = {
    general: {
        cachet_uri: "https://status.themimitoof.fr/", // Here is the URI to your Cachet instance
        api_token: "", // Here is the API token (available in your Cachet profile)
        instance_about_uri: "https://masto.themimitoof.fr/about/more" // Here is the URI to the about/more page of your Mastodon instance
    },
    users: {
        enabled: true,
        metric_id: 1 // Here is the ID of the metric graph
    },
    posts: {
        enabled: true,
        metric_id: 2 // Here is the ID of the metric graph
    },
    instances: {
        enabled: true,
        metric_id: 3 // Here is the ID of the metric graph
    }
}

To try if your settings is OK, launch the code with:

node index.js

Finally, create cron task (or scheduled task (on Windows)). Cron examples:

# Run task every 30 minutes
0/30 * * * * node /opt/cachet-mastodon-stats/index.js

# Or

# Run task every hour
0 * * * * node /opt/cachet-mastodon-stats/index.js

Cachet metric template

Note : Before adding metric, please ensure the timezone in your php.ini and on Cachet settings is right.

Here is my recommended configuration for metrics charts:

• Calculation of metrics: Average
• Default view: Last 12 Hours or (I have some problems with this view) Week
• Default value: 0
• Decimal places: 0
• How many minutes of threshold between metric points?: 0
